FAQs
Landed houses can attract more pests (like mosquitoes, ants) since they’re at ground level and have gardens. Check for window screens and ask if regular pest control is done. Also look for water stains or damp spots that could signal roof or drainage leaks.
1-bedroom units offer better work-life separation than studios with a dedicated bedroom for sleep and living area for work. You can have video calls without showing your bed, and maintain professional backgrounds. However, the limited space means you'll need efficient furniture and good organization. Consider noise levels from neighbors and ensure good internet connectivity for reliable remote work.
Pros include spacious living, private outdoor space, parking, and quiet neighborhoods. Cons include higher costs, longer commutes to city centers, more maintenance responsibilities, and potentially fewer international amenities nearby. Consider proximity to international schools, expat communities, and whether the space justifies the premium over condos with more services.
A master bedroom (with an attached bathroom) is ideal if you value extra space and privacy. It’s great for couples or individuals who want more room and their own bathroom. You get a larger area to yourself, which is nice if you work from your room or just like having a private bathroom and more storage. If your budget allows and you prefer not to share a bathroom, a master bedroom is a good choice.
Research the area's safety record, future development plans, and property value trends. Check proximity to essential services like hospitals, schools, and shopping centers. Evaluate public transport connectivity and traffic patterns during peak hours. Consider the community demographics and whether the neighborhood aligns with your lifestyle preferences and long-term plans.
With more people and activities, noise management becomes important for family harmony and neighbor relations. Check sound insulation between rooms, whether bedrooms are clustered together, and if living areas are separated from sleeping areas. Consider carpet or rugs for sound dampening.
No private pools or gyms, but you’ll find community clubs, sports centres, and public pools nearby. Many tenants prefer the neighbourhood feel and everyday convenience.
Look for layouts where bedrooms don't directly face each other for better privacy. Check if both bedrooms have windows for natural light and ventilation. Consider whether the kitchen is open or closed to the living area - open kitchens feel spacious but cooking smells spread. Ensure there's adequate storage throughout the unit, not just in bedrooms.
